Please remove Master Yi from AR URF (one of the many rants from the community about Yi)

Most Champions in URF are broken. That much is undeniable, and I'm not arguing against that. However, even up against threats like Karthus, Fizz, Malzahar, Olaf, and Ahri...there is no Champion more unbeatable than Master Yi. You can counter any of the other champions with no problem as long as you work as a team, but with a Master Yi as your opponent you might as well surrender. I've read so many of these saying the same things about Yi, like how he gains a massive powerspike at level 6 that's even worse than Sona's...or that he's more untouchable than Fizz with his Q, or how he barely has to go back to spawn because his W and lifesteal potential allow him to stay at maximum health during any time. All of these are true, and it makes me wonder what RIOT is thinking by still having him in the game mode — even though they've acknowledged that Yi is overpowered above anything else. I'm not saying he's uncounterable. Rammus, Karthus during the early game, Malzahar, Syndra, etc, are able to counter him pretty well in this mode. But guess what? It's all random now. No one is guaranteed to be able to stand a chance against Yi. So while those at RIOT twiddle their thumbs making a game mode more awkwardly feminine and weeaboo than a bad Pokemon porno, we're left here dealing with a beloved game mode ruined not just by the new random feature added, but also by an uncontrollable and unbalance-able Champion that has been complained about for ages. Obviously they're not going to do anything about it, they've consistently made arguments that Yi is balanced and that they're not going to change him. Still, after having had many games against the Champion (not just this last week, but in previous AR URF games as well as original URF games before the change), I feel justified in ranting about how they've done nothing very positive for URF since they turned it into a melted ice sculpture.

While I agree that this is absolutely true... I also understand why they randomized champions. in normal URF, every game had the same bans and picks. They (Riot) probably wanted to mix things up.
